Glad you liked it - I'm a bit of an 8th year fan too!

Thanks for reading!

I love the pace you've set for this story. You've taken the time to really get things going, for feelings to really set in before everyone realises where it'll all lead to. It's funny that I kind of like Pnasy and Ron together in certain circumstances and for them to vouch for Draco and Harry was pretty damn risky but great!

I also love how curious Harry is and how Draco realises that sometimes he needs a little bit of a push even though he won't admit it. And that he really does care about Harry (and maybe he has for quite some time without every realising it)...I really like these two come together.

Also, perfect ending. Thanks for sharing! :)

You caught so many of the things that make a story for me. I love 8th year fics. I love well done snark. The writing was wonderful, with so many instances of the perfect word being used in just the right place. The story was light, dancing from scene to scene, yet carrying with it hints of the darkness they've been through. Well done, mystery author!

I really enjoyed this - you had me worried there for a little bit, but bless Pansy and Ron for meddling, and Narcissa for wearing the trousers in the family! *g*

I liked the slow build-up toward friendship, and the gradual romantic attraction. The scene where Harry healed Draco's cut finger was really lovely. All the scenes were, actually, but I particularly liked that one, for some reason.
